Abstract: A substrate for mounting an electronic component according to an aspect of an embodiment includes a base that is a plate-shaped body, where a first surface of the base is sloped relative to a second surface that is opposed to the first surface, and when the base is bisected into a lower part and a higher part in a slope direction thereof, a thermal conductivity of the lower part is higher than a thermal conductivity of the higher part.

Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive chuck device that can achieve both a stable gripping operation and a high degree of accuracy in gripping and can also reduce limitations in the gripping of a workpiece. According to the present invention, a chuck device is provided, the chuck device being characterized by comprising a chuck main body and a master jaw, wherein the chuck main body has an oscillation supporting hole, and the oscillation supporting holes are rotatably provided in plurality around a rotational axis of the chuck main body, and wherein the master jaw has a top jaw detachably provided on one end thereof, and is fitted into the oscillation supporting hole while maintaining surface contact therewith to enable sliding contact.

Abstract: It is to provide an electrolyte solution for a dye sensitized solar cell that does not generate a gas, can be used in a wide temperature range, and is excellent in durability. The electrolyte solution contains a chain sulfone compound represented by formula (1) as a solvent. (In the formula, R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, which may be partially substituted by a halogen, an alkoxy group or an aromatic ring, an alkoxy group, or a phenyl group.

Abstract: The inventory management system comprises a central control unit, a number of parts terminal units deposed at each parts container, and some guide terminal units arranged at each parts container shelf. A worker goes to a parts container in accordance with the guidance on the guide terminal units, performs parts storing, parts collecting or stocktaking jobs in accordance with a job display and parts quantity display on the parts terminal unit and can also correct a displayed parts quantity if the quantity displayed is not correct.
